For early adopters of the Solar Accelerated Transition Action Programme (Atap) scheme, the appeal is more on achieving ­consistent savings, rather than generating income. Vouching for the scheme, ­private sector employee Nazil Abdul Halim said his household power bill fell sharply with the installation of solar panels. “I used to pay about RM450 a month for electricity but after installing solar under the Atap scheme, my bill dropped to about RM120 most months. For others like Siti Zuliha Ismail, the availability of financing options has made solar power more accessible. I pay about RM280 monthly, and my electricity bill dropped by more than RM350.
